ORA-00259 Log string of open instance string is the current log, cannot archive

Error CodeORA-00259DescriptionLog string of open instance string (thread string) is the current log, cannot archive.CausePossible cause of this error is, an attempt was made to archive the current log of an open thread. This is not allowed because the redo log file may still be in use for the generation of redo entries.ActionTo fix this issue, force a log switch in the instance where the thread is open. If no instances are open, open the database so that instance recovery can recover the thread.reference
